Since Su Junxin had already found out about the relationship between Camille and the manor’s owner; she was definitely not going to pass up on such a heaven-sent chance. Thus, she instantly came up with a story of how she had a relative who wanted to buy that manor.

Camille had not expected there to be such a coincidence, so she instantly made a verbal agreement with Su Junxin, and they exchanged contact details.

With a burden in her heart resolved, Su Junxin was so happy that she could not conceal her smile. She was even humming away as she walked towards the school building.

However, just as she made a turn, a figure suddenly stopped her from moving forwards.

Su Junxin retracted her smile and subconsciously took a step back, fully alert as she looked at the man in front of her.

He was in his 20’s and donned a casual Armani Couture suit with a Rolex on his wrist.

He did not look like a teacher and most definitely did not look like a student.

Since Su Junxin’s innate senses told her that he was not a friendly character, her inner alarm began to ring continuously.

“Who are you?” Su Junxin asked with her eyes squinted.

When the man saw her, he was first startled. After he heard her question, he immediately frowned.

“Su Junxin, have you actually lost your mind?”

‘He knows me?’

Su Junxin felt surprised for an instant and subtly sized him up.

When she noticed the little mole beneath his left eye, she immediately recalled who he was… Her fiance! 

Speaking of which, this was actually really surprising and was equivalent to a soap opera.

The mother of the original body’s owner had a best friend who had known each other since they were children called Liao Zhen. The both of them had gotten married in the same year and made a promise to each other that if their children were of the same gender, they would become best brothers or sisters. However, if they were of a different gender, they would have an arranged marriage.

In the end, Liao Zhen had given birth to a baby boy while Su Junxin was born four years later.

Therefore, the man before Su Junxin was her supposed matchmade fiance… Meng Mingkun.

After the original host’s mother passed away, Liao Zhen impatiently went to seduce the original host’s father. But in the end, her plans had been brought to light to the public. She was forced to head overseas without a single possession, cutting off all contact with both the Su and the Mengs after that.

Su Junxin’s stepmother, Liu Ya, ended up having an intimate relationship with Liao Zhen’s ex-husband – Meng Zhou. Hence, the both of them maintained their secret relationship.

However, the most laughable part of it all was that Meng Mingkun clearly had an arranged marriage with Su Junxin, but he ended up having an affair with Su Yi. 

With this intricate relationship between the different people and a plot akin to a soap opera, Su Junxin instantly felt like she was living in a drama that depicted the life of the rich and the grievances behind it.

As that thought flashed past her mind, she very quickly returned to reality.

She recovered her calm expression and took a step back to distance herself from him before she casually said, “Meng Mingkun, is something the matter?”

When Meng Mingkun heard that, the gaze in his eyes became slightly complex.

He was still stuck with the memories of Su Junxin from two years ago. 

‘At the time, she was clearly a timid looking and nervous, common girl. Yet, she suddenly made a huge change and is, in fact, prettier than Su Yi…’

As he looked at her face, and then words that he had kept in his throat for a long time were suddenly unable to leave his mouth.

However, when he recalled how swelled Su Yi’s face was as she cried incessantly, his face soon darkened as he let out a soft, “Tsk.”

“You hit Su Yi, didn’t you?”

Su Junxin instantly understood what was going on.

‘Oh, so he’s here as her reinforcement.’

At the thought of that, she ended up smiling instead, as she honestly admitted. “That’s right, my sister was naughty, so it’s only natural for me, her elder sister, to teach her a lesson. What’s the matter? Is there a problem?”

Meng Mingkun was angered by her casual expression and instantly raised his voice to scold her, “Su Yi only wanted to understand what had happened, yet you raised your hand to hit her. Is that called teaching her a lesson? Su Junxin, you…”

Before he finished speaking, Su Junxin’s interrupted him by speaking faster than he did.

“Meng Mingkun, what gives you the right to raise your voice at me? Do you really think I’m completely unaware of the dirty things going on between the two of you?”

She folded her arms in front of her chest and sarcastically raised the edge of her lips.

“The Mengs are considered to be pretty reputable in the South City. Meng Mingkun, if I were to expose how you’re having an affair with your fiance’s younger sister… How far do you think your family business’s shares are going to plummet? I’m afraid you aren’t going to be able to secure your position as the next inheritor, are you?”

“You!” Meng Mingkun was shocked when he heard that, but he fought hard to maintain calmness on the surface. “Su Junxin, stop using this matter to threaten me!”

Su Junxin scornfully raised the edge of her lips again.

“You’re mistaken; I’m not threatening; I’m warning you.”

‘Warning… That means she’s here to talk about conditions then.’

Meng Mingkun’s face turned pale as he felt a bad omen welling up within him.

‘If she so much as dares to ask me for my company’s shares, I wouldn’t mind going all out at her without any regards for the risks…’

“What do you want?”

Su Junxin took out her cellphone and turned on the voice recorder.

She then raised three fingers and waved them in front of him.

“Three requests.”

Meng Mingkun’s face turned even darker as he gritted his teeth and asked, “What are they?”

“First, cancel our marriage agreement.”

Meng Mingkun instantly felt suspicious when he heard that and instinctively asked, “Why?”

‘When she brought up my affair with Su Yi, apart from feeling nervous, I was actually a little delighted.’

‘I thought she was angry at me because she loved me. In fact, I was even thinking about whether I should coax her back to me. Who knew that she would actually want to cancel our marriage on her own accord!’

Su Junxin coldly stared into his eyes. “I’ve never used hand-me-downs.”

Ignoring his sudden change in expression, she continued and said, “Second, regardless of what happens in the future, I will have nothing to do with you or the Mengs. Third, if you breach the second request, I will expose your affair with Su Yi to the entire South City.”

Meng Mingkun squinted his eyes and stared at her for a moment. Then, his eyes glistened as he spoke in a deep voice, “I agree to your terms.”

Thus, Su Junxin retracted her hand and pressed pause before walking past him towards the entrance.

She suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned her head around. “Also, remind Liu Ya to hurry up and return me my money. Her one-month time limit is almost up.”

Meng Mingkun frowned.

“Return you what money?”

Su Junxin raised an eyebrow and snickered, her voice filled with sarcasm and tease. “Oh, so you still don’t know about it? Your little lover has been squandering the inheritance that my father left for me, living the life of a wealthy person.”

When she saw him stunned, she could not help but reveal a pitiful gaze towards him.

“Ahh, I see she hasn’t been telling you the truth… Tsk tsk tsk, such a pity.”

…

When Su Junxin had returned to her classroom, it was long past the afternoon. Yet, Qin You still hadn’t eaten yet.

“Didn’t I ask you not to wait for me?”

She then touched the edge of the bowl and felt that it was a little cold.

Qin You raised his head and took out a pair of chopsticks before handing it to her. “That’s because I knew you would be back.”

Su Junxin could not help but smile faintly. “I could’ve come back a little earlier, but I ran into someone on my way here at the dean’s building.”

“Hmm? Who was it?” Qin You paused for a moment as a dark glimmer flashed beneath his eyes.

Su Junxin told him everything about Meng Mingkun while she ate.

After Qin You heard her story, a look of shock appeared on his face. “Junxin, if it isn’t because I understand you, I would’ve actually thought that you made up that story!”

Su Junxin could not help but laugh. “You think so too, don’t you? The moment I found out about it, I actually thought it was outrageous.”

“Then, how did you handle the matter in the end?” Qin You asked curiously as he bit on his chopsticks.

“I, um…” She deliberately dragged on the build-up to add to the suspense. “I canceled my marriage with him and even ended up leaving him with a surprise.”

When he heard the words “canceled my marriage,” Qin You’s eyes instantly became calm.

He picked up a bamboo shoot and placed it in her bowl before he asked, “What kind of surprise?”

Su Junxin had a deep, meaningful smile on her face as she chuckled.

“Sometimes, there’s no need to be forthright to expose a person’s true character. I like throwing someone a bomb and then walking away, leaving them to light up the fuse themselves.”
